Gary Vee is a notorious ~~grifter~~ NFT salesman with a checkered past.

Webacy is a cryptocurrency wallet "technology layer" that "provides security features" like password backup, "digital wills", etc.

You all not only don’t read the article, the date published is right there in the URL

There's already a thread regarding this article's age in this post

[–] geekwithsoul@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

None of that addresses or explains why you posted an older article without noting the age of it.

And you do know how Mozilla Ventures is different from other parts of Mozilla, right?

Title changed. Can you explain your offense at not having [2023] in the title? Other people actually had a reason to complain, but you did not.

Because when sharing anything, it’s important to provide the context of when it was published if it’s older? Especially when there are active and current discussions about a topic (ie governance of Mozilla) and someone could easily be confused about how recent an article is? Otherwise it could appear to be intentionally misleading, which I’m sure was not your intent.

Touche.
